Special Cancelled Withdrawal Bonus by Rushmore Casino

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Often, when players trying their hand at online casino games win, they immediately seek withdrawal for the winning amount. But, soon after they begin to have doubts as to whether withdrawal would indeed be the right move at this point in time. After all, they have been enjoying a good run at the casinos and many would want to ride their luck for a longer while. But, cancelling withdrawals might involve calculated efforts and therefore many players do not wish to choose it.

Now Rushmore Casino has made a novel progress in this domain. They would now make withdrawal efforts worthwhile by awarding special bonuses to the players seeking withdrawals. This innovative drive has been termed the “Second Chance Chip.” This will surely prove to be advantageous for the players who wish to cash in on what we call the gut feel. Players of the Rushmore Casino who desire availing this benefit would have to get in touch with customer service without further delay. Their withdrawal requests would then be cancelled and the amount would be credited back to their playing account. One can make the request by email, live chat, or phone.

If the amount has been wagered only once, Rushmore Casino would be awarding a cent percent match bonus, providing a second chance to the player for winning his money back. This bonus would be added only when the playing balance of the player hits the zero mark. If you have registered several withdrawals with Rushmore, you end up being eligible for Second Chance Chip for each withdrawal that has been cancelled. But, this offer extended by Rushmore Casinos is subject to a few conditions and rules. Players would only be eligible for this bonus if they have processed the playing deposit through their credit card or through the gift card sold by Rushmore Casino. Besides, the reverse withdrawal must not be less than $25!

This bonus is a play bonus. You can cash out only the winnings linked to the bonus and not the bonus! Wagering requirements would have to be met if you wish to withdraw the winnings from the bonus. Cash outs can only be made when the reverse withdrawal money as well as the bonus amount has been wagered over 30 times. One-third of the value of wagering requirements would be contributed by Bonus Poker, Blackjack, Video Poker, and Texas Holdem. Wagering requirements will not be fulfilled by baccarat, craps, bingo, roulette, and so on.

For more information on the ongoing lucky games offered by the Rushmore Casino, the players would now have to take a look at the Winner’s Corner. This can be accessed with the help of the “Why Rushmore” titled tab situated on the main header. The games that have proved to be most profitable through the month of May have been categorically listed here. A whopping $30,801.5 has been won by Mary from America on the Bunko Bonanza. Charles, an Australian citizen, also won $15,497 on the European Roulette.

InterHeroes Promotion Begins at InterCasino

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

The following leg of the promotion of InterHero Assemble begins at the InterCasino soon. The players who could not be a part of the first leg can now make the most of this promotion. Those who have already been a part of the first leg can try once more! Slated to begin on 10th May, the promotional events would take place till 27th May. This time, the prize pool on offer is much bigger and players can have a whale of a time.

In order to choose the promotion, the players at InterCasino must enter “VEL” as the bonus code. Failing to enter this code would mean that the wagering they do will not contribute to the promotion. This promotion code is not the same as the one provided in the first leg. Once the code has been entered and registered, a minimum deposit of $25 has to be made for establishing eligibility. This gives them the ticket of wagering to their heart’s content. They can wager on online slots offered by the InterCasino and collect points for cashback.

The cashback points awarding system is similar to that used usually at the InterCasino during the regular gaming sessions. If you wish to double up on the loyalty points collected, you would have to wager on the superhero online slots like the “Hulk Ultimate Revenge” as well as the “Iron Man.” Once the promotional events are over, the players would now be arranged on a board based on the points accumulated by each. This is done to determine the winners and the topmost 80 players in this category would be sharing the prize money.

The player winning the highest cashback points will receive an award of $1200! This is $200 above the prize designated in the first leg of the promotional events. Therefore, players would have a heftier sum of money to play for. The prize money for the second place would be $600 and the third place winner would get around $400. The prize amount will only have to be wagered once before withdrawal. For the rest of the winners, there would be bonuses starting from $100 to about $40! But, this bonus would be required to be wagered around 15 times prior to withdrawal.

The rewards do not end here! There is another special way in which the InterCasino plans to reward its players. Each time the players register a win of 100 cashbacks on the online slots featured in the promotion, a bonus of $15 is rewarded to them. This amount can be won almost ten times during the course of this promotion event. This gives players the opportunity to make $150 extra during the course of the promotion, absolutely free of cost. This is because there are no wagering hassles attached to this bonus.

The website of the InterCasino showcases a write up about each of the slots featured in this promotion if players aren’t aware about them. These slots have been duly developed by Cryptologic under a Marvel Comics license and are considered branded slots. The “Hulk Ultimate Revenge” is a video slot game with 25 lines with three explosions triggering the bonus game. In addition, if you choose The Iron Man, it offers extra rewards each time you help the protagonist find hidden blueprints. Both these games are connected to the jackpot network.

Online Gambling Takes a Step Forward in the State of New Jersey

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

New Jersey gambling is making news by taking firm and forward steps toward legalizing online gambling in the state. The Senate Budget and Appropriation Committee last month passed some laws to this effect. This was followed by a similar legislation passed next by the State Assembly. This move has come in the wake of the realization by many industry leaders and legislators of the need for New Jersey to be a pioneer in introducing gambling laws in an effort to legalize online gambling. This would help the state to be in the race ahead of others like Iowa, California, or Nevada.

Incidentally, the land-based casinos in Atlantic City have been witnessing tremendous decline in revenues, and it is the belief among lawmakers like Senator Lesniak that online gambling when legalized can improve the situation. The past three years have been particularly slow in generating revenues. This ailing industry can hope to be revived if online gambling is legalized. The President of the state Casino Association in a statement declared his state’s support for online wagering. But, this must not harm consumers in any way. He clarified that all Atlantic City casinos are bound to be consolidated provided online gambling laws come into force. The current gambling bill should be passed to improve the tax revenues instead of the profits actually moving overseas. In this context, Robert Griffin insisted that New Jersey legislators should actively consider enacting the gambling bill. The online betting scheme is likely to be far more profitable when compared to the existing forms of wagering. Along with taxes, licensing fees have been proposed to be collected from casinos online when gambling becomes legal in the state. During the first year, the licensing fees are expected to be $200,000, whereas the cost for renewing license the following year is scheduled to be $100,000. Interestingly, all funds collected from licensing fees will be utilized for aiding programs dedicated to helping those suffering from gambling problems.

The state of New York is also expected to launch few more brick-and-mortar casinos soon. This move is again likely to adversely affect the revenues of Atlantic City land casinos. Incidentally, the primary objections to this new bill come particularly from the crippled horseracing sectors.

Jackpot Party Casino Launch

The Jackpot Party Casino recently introduced a set of new slots. The first of these is the Magic Wand with 25 pay lines. This game is exclusive to the casino and is based on a theme of illusion. There are some special features like free spins, wild bonuses, and progressive bonus. WMS Gaming, which owns this casino, recently signed a deal with Konami Gaming Inc which is a Las Vegas based game developer to further strengthen its games suite. Konami Gaming has given its license to many slot titles to WMS Gaming like the Rawhide, Norse Warrior, and Jumpin’ Jalapenos. These are to come to all WMS Gaming’s online casinos like the Jackpot Party Casino. The WMS President Edidin feels that by adding these slot games on all WMS online platforms, they will get a tremendous boost. They will guarantee a unique gaming experience to all the regular players in this casino site. The company COO Steve Sutherland announced this new launch which he believes to be a great way to consolidate revenues even further and keep their members satisfied.

MGM International CEO speaks

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

The MGM Resorts International, which is a leading land-based casino, participated at the 19th Southern Gaming Summit that was convened in Biloxi recently. Here the CEO of MGM Resorts International, Murren, reiterated the need to legalize online gambling in the country. Here, he mentioned his company’s partnership with the European gambling leader bwin.party for a joint gambling initiative once gambling becomes legal in the US. Murren appears very positive about the whole process of legalization of online gambling and is pretty confident that this year will witness the launch of internet gambling in the truest sense of the term. But, he believes that this may not be possible on a federal level as there is no definite move by the federal government in this direction. He feels that the change will come about on a state level. At the same time, he emphasizes his company’s backing of the federal laws because he thinks that this can enforce the law more accurately and only the federal government can add a strong crime prevention angle to it. But, this control by the federal government may not ever happen in the future, according to him, because of the Republicans opposition.

Murren also stressed that the future of social gaming will depend on its convergence with what is called social media. All online gaming giants can exploit their chances to interact with the players and learn from them or partner with them. Social gaming offers a great opportunity to all the companies that are keen to compete and have the infrastructure to do so. He even suggested that MGM had a project on these lines, but a name for this gaming project is yet to be fixed.

Aussie research facts

Sydney’s Gambling Treatment Clinic in a recent research revealed some interesting finds about gambling addictions. This clinic’s Education and Training Officer Anjoul recently declared that gambling is definitely not the kind of addictive behavior it is made out to be. Addiction in gambling can be extensive, but often the tendency to associate it with drug abuse and alcohol addiction is unjustified, according to the clinic’s study. This is because withdrawal and tolerance symptoms which are characteristic of addiction problems in drug addicts or alcoholics are hardly noticeable in the gamblers. Problem gambling is not an effect of malfunctioning of biological processes which an individual fails to gain control of; it is usually the result of poorly informed choices among those who are often not guided properly and develop this addictive habit. This means that the treatment for both should also be different. Anjoul has come up with a unique cognitive therapy process which has shown to have more impressive outcomes than the earlier used methods designed to cure gambling addictions. These treatment methods typically focus on showing people to control their gambling urges. Earlier these would not have long-lasting effects and people would go through relapses. But the current model has shown better results and people trying it have actually been experiencing fewer urges now.

Win At Mummy’s Gold Online Casino

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Among the many record wins which have taken place throughout the month of April 2012 at the Mummy’s Gold Casino, the biggest no doubt happened on April 26th. On this day, a player won a whopping $150,479 on the trio of online slots, namely, Celtic Crown, Path of the Penguin, and Supe It Up. Though Supe It Up is popular during the Formula 1 races, Celtic Crown has been traditionally popular. The Path of the Penguin is a little different from these and not commonly heard of. There was another such online slots combination which did not record very large payouts. These games were Cool Buck, Break da Bank, and Bearly Fishing. The Cool Buck has three reels and a traditional slot game. The Path of the Penguin is based on a Ninja theme, but here these martial art experts are not turtles but penguins. The first chip introduces wise master, the ninjas, and the evil one. The wild symbol is the ninja penguin and it comes with a fixed jackpot worth 6000 coins. The walrus which is an evil symbol has a payout worth 2000 coins. The scatter symbol is the penguin inside the ice cube. This symbol also activates free spins, five of which are awarded right away. Five ice cubes are presented to the player and he must pick three of these. These are smashed thereafter by the penguin and each cube gives free spins or bonus coins. Free spins cannot be reactivated. They are accumulated and must be played together. The Cool Buck has three reels and five pay lines so that wins are more frequent. The typical symbols are double and triple bars, sevens, cherries, and single bars. The wild symbol is the dollar sign and three dollars on every pay line gives a different amount. This casino belongs to The Palace Group of online casinos. Microgaming is the software provider for this brand and the casino has been licensed by the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority.

888 Poker gets a new martial arts champ as its brand ambassador

The half-French and half-Canadian martial arts expert Georges St-Pierre recently assumed the role of brand ambassador for the 888 Casino group’s poker. This deal had been initially signed for a year during which this martial arts champ will emerge as a rather vital part of the casino’s marketing strategy. The B2C Vice President Pazner feels that this move will help consolidate their brand awareness throughout the world by launching 888 casinos to the fans of this sport. Having such an international celebrity is bound to make a world of difference to the group. On his part, Georges St-Pierre reveals his excitement at being chosen the brand ambassador for 888 Casino and the new 888 Poker. He believes poker requires a great deal of talent and skill and is expected to lead a team in the forthcoming World Series of Poker (WSOP) scheduled for the summer.
